Let's talk about what pedagogical innovations are and how they affect the quality of education.
Introduction of second generation standards
The current stage of development of education in our country is carried out on the basis of the implementation of federal standards of the new (second) generation. Schools and teaching teams are tasked with improving and optimizing education. In addition to all levels of schools, similar standards have been introduced in preschools.
OS problems
Innovative processes in education are aimed at eliminating many problems that exist in kindergartens, schools, lyceums, gymnasiums. First of all, the attention of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation was paid to the improvement of technical teaching aids. This allows you to increase the efficiency of information exchange between students and their mentor. Innovative information technologies that have appeared within the walls of educational and preschool institutions have made it possible to create a new educational environment for reforming and improving the educational process.
Defining innovation
So what is pedagogical innovation? Translated from English, this word sounds like the use of new skills, methods, forms that require minimal time, material, intellectual resources to obtain the desired result. The concept of "pedagogical innovation" has a similar meaning, but a narrow scope. Recently, transformations concern not only the economic life of the country, but also the intellectual field (universities, schools, preschool institutions).
Features of pedagogical innovations
What is pedagogical innovation? Let's try to consider this term in more detail. First of all, we are talking about some purposeful actions that are capable of introducing transformations into the educational environment that improve the characteristics of different parts, as well as individual components of the entire system.
Innovative processes in education are associated with the search for and development of new methods, technologies, tools, programs.
Such activities involve the search for new programs, their introduction into the educational process, rethinking their importance and significance.
A special place is given to the organization of interaction between teachers and students, changing the criteria for grading for acquired knowledge.
Technology
Pedagogical innovations in the educational process involve the use of updated teaching and upbringing technologiesthe rising generation. They act as a tool through which the new educational system can be implemented. Such training consists in the orientation of the educational and educational process to the capabilities of the child, taking into account his psychological and physiological characteristics, and the subsequent implementation of the tasks set. It is modern pedagogical innovations that should contribute to the development of mechanisms for innovative work, the search for creative methods to solve complex problems, and the transformation of the creative process into the norm.
The Purpose of Innovation
First of all, it is supposed to change the qualitative characteristics of the individual in comparison with the traditional educational system. Such transformations are possible with the introduction of educational and didactic programs into the practical activities of teachers, thanks to which unconventional creative thinking of children is formed, their natural inclinations are revealed to the maximum extent. All innovations in education relate to the development of the independence of the younger generation, their desire to comprehend the innovative achievements of science, to use in everyday life the skills and abilities formed in the process of educational activities.
Varieties of innovation
Classification of pedagogical innovations involves the selection of the following options:
- organization of training sessions using the class-lesson system;
- formation of specialized classes;
- application in the educational process of gamingmethods.
Innovations allow both a departure from the classical lesson system and the use of a project methodology that allows the student to acquire the necessary knowledge by involving him in research activities. Particular attention is paid to the creation of schemes for remote interaction between the teacher and the student, parents and pupils. At the same time, the classical lesson system can be preserved or modernized. Another interesting area of pedagogical innovation is the creation of special (individual) educational methods and programs.
Features of experience transfer
In order for all the intentions of the moderators to be successfully implemented in practice, special attention is paid to the professional training of the teaching staff. Over the past few years, a variant of the "professional standard" of the teacher has been discussed. The entire pedagogical community has joined this work in order to develop in the near future the minimum set of competencies for a teacher that he must possess in order to fully implement all educational innovations. Teachers offer their own additional criteria, according to which it will be possible to talk about a real professional who owns innovative techniques and teaching methods.
Features of innovative teaching methods
So what is pedagogical innovation? First of all, these are new techniques and teaching methods aimed at developing independence among schoolchildren. Special attention teachers in their workbegan to focus on the design methodology. If in the traditional system no time was allotted for the development of the student's creative abilities, then after the introduction of new federal educational standards of the second generation, each child gets a real opportunity for harmonious development and self-improvement.
Technologies of the future
The Pedagogical Innovation Fair is held annually at the August Meetings to introduce teachers to new educational methods. After a detailed consideration of each, it is tested in practice. Upon receipt of positive results, the experience is transferred to other educational institutions.
Research as a way to introduce educational innovations
One of the essential components of the content of each academic discipline is project or research activity. According to the new federal educational standards, all children must master this technique, which allows them to develop their creative and individual abilities. To confirm the work carried out during the academic year, at the end of the academic year, they present finished projects, acquaint teachers and classmates with the results of their scientific work.
Such activities are rightfully recognized as innovations in education, because here, instead of the traditional role of a teacher, the teacher appears before the pupils as a mentor, assistant, senior friend. Together with the child, he works on the creation of a technological map of the study, determines the direction of activity, selectsexperiments.
The teacher's task is to explain complex theoretical issues to his wards, help in case of difficulties with carrying out specific chemical transformations, performing sociological surveys.
It is the student who does the main work on the project, which allows him to gain new knowledge related to the subject of his research. Thanks to such innovative methods, the child is gradually determined with the choice of his future professional activity.
The results of testing new pedagogical methods testify to their high efficiency and effectiveness. The departure from the traditional authoritarian education system allows the harmonious development of the child's personality, simplifies the process of his social adaptation.
New projects in education
Special national educational projects have been introduced in our country to support talented teachers and children. What is their role in improving the educational and educational process? Feeling real support from the state, teachers are trying to work creatively, to look for the best methods for the formation of a comprehensively developed personality of the child.
The state support of talented youth is also important. A variety of grant competitions and projects aimed at identifying and encouraging those boys and girls who are trying to improve the economic and social situation of people, help reduce the number of interethnic conflicts, are highly appreciated by the country's leadership. The guys are not only encouraged financially for their research and projects, but also get a real opportunity to put their plans into practice.
Conclusion
Innovations that have affected modern education have led to increased he althy competition between teachers. Each teacher now has his own electronic or paper portfolio, which lists all his professional achievements. It is on this "portfolio of results" that experts evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of his work, decide on assigning a certain qualification category to their colleagues. Thanks to the active introduction of innovative information technologies into educational institutions, it became possible to provide full-fledged distance learning for children with serious he alth problems. Within the framework of the special state project “Accessible Environment”, comfortable conditions are created for such students for development, acquiring new knowledge, acquiring skills, and successfully adapting to modern social conditions.
Particular attention is paid to the introduction of the profile system at the senior level of education. This makes it possible for the children to choose those areas that are of interest to them, which will be required to a greater extent during their subsequent studies outside the school. Problem-based learning, a specialized school, computer technologies, the formation of patriotism - these are far from all the directions that have become possible thanks to the innovative processes taking place recently in Russian education.
